The Nichols Funeral Records project is finished. Search 20 years of records from 1919-1939. Fascinating!

Thanks to Gus Nichols who graciously allowed us to transcribe his ledgers, we have now completed our project to add funeral records from J. & C. Nichols Ltd, Dublin to our online database. These records cover 1919-1939. So, 20 years of funerals!

Our gratitude also goes to Joyce Tunstead who photographed and transcribed the smaller accounts & to Valerie Ackroyd who transcribed the the Nichols records. It was a big project for both of them.
